Summary

Madeline Soto was a vibrant 13-year-old girl from Kissimmee, Florida, whose life was tragically cut short in February 2024. What began as a desperate search for a missing child unraveled into a horrifying discovery of betrayal, abuse, and murder. Her disappearance led to the arrest of her mother’s boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, whose dark secrets painted a chilling picture of what happened to Madeline. In this episode of Mama Mystery, we walk through the haunting details of Madeline’s final days, from surveillance footage showing her last moments to the damning evidence that revealed Stephan’s role in her death. As we unravel this heartbreaking case, we examine the disturbing actions that led to her tragic end, the community’s grief, and the ongoing fight for justice.
